	Does that mean after touch at (near) the bottom of the key stroke?
And does she want the damper down before she repeats? Of course then
the key has to come up so far. If she wants key still holding the
damper up while she repeats, that would be something, esp if she
could demonstrate it.  Nobody is that good ,,,,    are they?
